Download more cover variations from sources?
It looks like calibre just downloads one cover from each metadata source (eg: amazon, google, etc), but if the source has multiple covers, how can I influence which cover is chosen? Right now I have to manually download the cover and drag it into calibre (too bad I can't drag the cover image url directly into calibre).

On one book, the cover chosen is for the kindle version. How can I influence it to get the cover for the physical version? Is it related to the values in the IDs field? When I blanked out the IDs field, it still defaulted to the kindle version.

What would be nice is if the cover downloader/browser will present all cover variations so the user has more choices.
